"background:" not working... 1

[webmigit]

I have a table cell that is 250 pixels wide (by definition) and an image that is 141 pixels wide... I'd like to display the image as a background on the right side of the table cell...

style="background: url(/phmanip/imagehash.php?amount=500&mo=123886&hres=2A723B71BBE8D7D6002BD095D061599C"

works... it displays the image, but because alignment is not specified, it doesn't align.

style="background: url(/phmanip/imagehash.php?amount=500&mo=123886&hres=2A723B71BBE8D7D6002BD095D061599C) no-repeat middle right"

displays the image and does not repeat it, but it does not align it.

I've tried many variations.. sometimes trying to put values in parentheses, sometimes not, but the only attributes I can get it to be aware of is no-repeat and the image.

Any thoughts?

It worked!

I honestly didn't think it was going to.. nothing against you, let me explain..

As far as I'm aware, the values available to the valign attribute of tags is "top, middle or bottom" isn't it?

Even though these two have very little in common, you'd think they would have kept that a standard, just to make developers' lives easy.

But who said developers' lives are supposed to be easy.

yes, the in-line deprecated attribute 'valign' had possible values of top, middle and bottom.

However, the stylistic approach allows for top, center and bottom.
